[gamejam#31themes] Final Theme Selected: Simplest possible game

IMPORTANT: fgl Game Jam #31 will be a mobile only, anonymous game jam!

Since mobile continues to grow and dominate the indie game dev marketplaces, we thought it might be a good idea to give you the opportunity to practice taking a prototype to mobile quickly. In many cases, it's easier than you think!

We'll start off this list with the top two remaining from last month and I'll add more as soon as you tell me what to add

Upcoming Events:

August 5th - Begin collecting themes for the next game jam

August 14th - 1st Round Vote begins to narrow down themes

August 21st - 2nd Round Vote begins for the final theme for the next game jam

if the theme would be tied to something fundamental to study in game design, everyone could be focused 100% toward mastering it, we would make a lot of progress in no time

also, while winning isn't the main point of participating in a game jam (imo) judging could be based on pure gameplay criterias and not just relevancy to an abstract theme that haves no interest outside the gamejam context

( loosing or having disagreements on who won, isn't a big issue really, the point is to learn from mistakes and make many cool games )

Here's a quick brainstorm on the word 'Insane', the list is not intended to be offensive nor politically incorrect, many of the words have multiple interpretations and contexts in which they could be used which is why I like them.

And that's it for the suggestion round. Thank you all of your great suggestions! Let's get voting.

Please pick your favorite themes to narrow down the list. Next Friday we'll grab 10 themes that are in the lead and then kick off Round 2 to select the Final Theme for Game Jam #31 that start August 28th.
